This artwork is a series of multiple small canvases. Each canvas is a gradient of a few colors with a black silhouette image over it with other details added with paint. Each canvas is showing a different scene from the Star Wars cinematic universe (a different planet, more specifically). Currently the planets I have painted include Tatooine, Mustafar, Endor, Hoth, Crait, Bespin, Dagobah, and Kamino. I chose these different planets because they have a very wide variety of environments and weather, so I was able to use very contrasting color schemes.
I created each artwork by putting lines of paint onto the canvases, dragging the paint using a ruler, then using a paint brush to blend the colors more smoothly. I then made a silhouette drawing of a scene from the Star Wars using an ink pen. Some of the paintings needed special techniques, such as the toothbrush splatters for stars or lava, a frayed paintbrush for the clouds on Bespin, and exacto knife scratches for the rain and whitecaps on Kamino. The big idea of my art was to make a series the covers all of the Star Wars cinematic universe. Much of the Star wars fanbase is split as to whether the prequels or sequels should be included in the universe, so I decided to add planets from all three trilogies to bring them all together. I was, obviously, inspired by the environment designers of the Star Wars production team. The way they added depth and life to the fictional planets was so impressive, especially for its time. Star Wars has always been one of my interests, so this series just suits me. My main goals for this series was to make each canvas follow the same general idea (silhouette over blended background) but still make them unique from one another with added detail and contrasting color. Overall, I love this series. I think each individual was a smashing success, but as a whole they really suit each other. If I had to pick a favorite, I would have to choose Mustafar. The lava spray in the background turned out so good. Plus it's one of the most well-known scenes in cinematic history.
